Now he can pronounce many words inaccurately, I'll be doing phonics and flash card with him more often. Anyway I'm looking for those classes that teaches parents how to teach baby phonics and flash card, if you do happen to know please drop me a note.

I'm more than happy with both his motor skill and speech development. The only thing I'm worry is that him being under weight.

CNY 2011

This year CNY was great!! We managed the logistics very well and Baby S was very cooperative except for the feeding. We had the usual rounds of visiting but didn't really managed to catch up on the first day of CNY.

Our place was simply decorated and Baby S is very fascinated with the "rabbits" hanging on the wall.

My boys with the decoration.

Singapore Universal Studio

It was Hubby's ex company family day, we decided to go since the tickets were sold at half price. It turn out a lot much better than I expected, I'm not sure why I do not have a good impression of it. The parking fee was a bomb and every other thing in the theme park was over price.

Overall it's a good place for family outing when their child is at least 3 yrs and above.

Welcome to Universal Studio!










Baby S was very attracted to this dinosaur and luckily it's selling at a very affordable price.


Daddy bought him another soft toy.




We took many pictures with the mascot!!!










We went walking another round after he fell asleep.


Best Mom + Super Dad = **

Baby S's Merry Xmas 2010

Baby S kick off the Xmas by receiving his very first Xmas card from Dr C.Lee.


Reading the card seriously.


Daddy read the Xmas card to him.


So delighted over the Xmas card.


He enjoy playing with the Xmas tree's ornaments.


How can we have Xmas tree w/o gifts.


His Xmas gift from Nanny's daughter.

Brush the teeth!!

Dr C.Lee advised us to start brushing Baby S teeth during our last post operation appointment. We are constantly reminded that milk teeth are extremely important for cleft babies as they serve as "marking point" where adult teeth need to be aligned.

Initially Baby S refused to let us brush his teeth, so I got Daddy to brush his teeth in front of him and he happily give in to me. Now I just need to show him the toothbrush he will quickly open his mouth for me to brush his teeth. Not everyone can do this trick, only his ever dearest Dad can to it. Baby S and Hb share a very unique bond that not many father and child has. You are wrong if you think that such bond fell from the sky. Hubby is the next main care giver of Baby S, he is able to fully take care of Baby S and that is something many fathers refused(or need not) to do. Daddy has always been his best playmate ever since his birth.

Toothpaste recommended by Dr C.Lee.


I love my toothbrush.




Love this pic!!!

Baby S busy looking at kiddos queuing behind us.


He wanted to give his candy to the Emcee.


You really dont want the candy?


Baby S was not scared of them and keep on looking back at Elmo.


Taken during our dinner, love his grouchy look.
